I'm somewhat out of touch with the specifics of your issue (my first
inclination would be to double check system vs compiler versions, not
all combos work), but I thought I'd explain the theory; Apple GCC has
a special build process because we want to support multiple
architectures and fat^Wuniversal binaries. The "FSF way" only ever
builds one compiler, while the "Apple way" builds n-squared compilers
for n architectures, with appropriate hosts and targets, bootstrapping
the native versions, and lipo-ing together the target libraries. The
Apple way also takes care of some smaller issues, such as some pathname
trickery.
